I made this comment out loud to myself when I saw this atc..and so now here it is in writing...ahhhhh...that is so adorable!I love the techniques and the ingenious idea for making the tree. Wendy...You rock!

Super cute and practical too Wendy!! Looks like it might be big enough for a GC too...I'm sure you probably don't like those either since you love to shop but sometimes they are a GREAT thing. ;)anyway...TFS!

Ok those are tooo SWEET for words!! I really wish I would have been able to meet you and take your class in St. Louis this year (stupid knee). I think you have a wonderful talent and you inspire me like Tim does. So THANK YOU for that!!!

What an awesome idea. I love how this turned out! Thank you again for my goodies. They arrived in the mail today and I was one happy girl! Such a great selection of awesome things. MERRY CHRISTMAS!Congratulations to all the winners!

Gorgeous, gorgeous and even more gorgeous... Love love love these fabby pouches... thanks for the tip about the upside down stamping, I would have done that LOL Budge up on that podium, I am told I should have a gold too LOL x

Oh Wendy, these are just fantastic! We had decided we were not giving cash to any of the kids this year, but I will have to make some of these up for next year and birthdays so I remember how. Just awesome!

This is so dang cute, I can't stand it!! Your brain is on overload ;-) I would love to watch you working in the studio....do you just whip these ideas up a to z or do you make messes that don't work and start over? Do you design the whole thing first? The process to come up with these AWESOME ideas day after day fascinates me!!!! keep it coming...please.

umm...not like Im behind on tags or anything...I need one more( or maybe 5 more!) things to do! cash rocks for some folks so guess you answered my wish for this one girly! in love with both of them!again..only you would dream this up! xo cher

Thanks for the great idea. I have a grand-daughter who's birthday is on Xmas eve and this is something with a holiday theme that I easily added a birthday greeting to. Thanks for the solution! It was fun to make.

I love it!!!! I am a manager for Walgreens and I always give my pharmacy tech and pharmacist gift cards for Xmas that way they all get the same thing. My mom always pounded in my head you had to keep it fair. Crazy--I know. So if you give the gift cards everyone gets the same amount but this way they all have the most amazing gift to go with it. A awesome piece of art to go with it. I have made them all coasters as well. But these are awesome thank you Wendy for a project I can lift!!!! You are amazing!!! My obsession continues.

Another great project Wendy....I find that I give more cash and gift cards as the kids get older. It's not that I don't LOVE to shop, but they don't always LOVE my choices..go figure!! Anyway..I love the cash holder idea and will make one tonight, before I forget!

Mrs Vecchi! you have some fabulous ideas.. and this one isno exception! Now can I find time to make one of these.. I mean I would like to make several, but haven't even made my Christmas cards yet!! these look like much more funThanks for showingxx

I have to give my nephews cash all 7 of them,for xmas & birthdays,coz thats what they want.this is such a fab idea,I will be proud to present them with one of these, instead of a boring envelope.thanks for the inspiration,Kat.

Can you hear me? I won, I won, I won.... that is so exciting!!! My car is in the shop... our 16yo's car is down... we are trying to share... it's been crazy.... and now I WON!!!! What a beautiful ending to a week. And your gift card holders are fabulous!!!! Very Fabulous!!!! ps. While waiting for my car (until they decided they'd have to keep it too long and gave me a loaner) I was cutting corner scallops so I can make trees!!!

what a great way to personalize a somewhat impersonal gift. At least with a hand made gift card holder, the reciever will realize that some thought was put into it. Thanks for the reminder that it can be tweaked for different possibilities! Happy Holidays!

AMAZING!! Such a clever idea, and now that you have shown us how - such a simple idea too! I shall enjoy giving gift cards in these now, so much more personal than a simple envelope. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing ideas and talents with us all!

What an absolutely fantastic idea for a money holder! How creative!!! And it looks like it would be pretty easy once you got the hang of it! I really love it for sending money in the mail...which I have to do!!! Thanks so much for this idea...I will definitely be using it in the very near future!!!

Yours came out fantastic...btw....really love the "look inside" peeking out from below!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!!!! Thank you so much. I've just recently discovered your blog and absolutely love your creativity! Thank you so much for sharing. I'll most definitely be making several of these.

another gorgeous tag! I got my SWEET package from you on Wednesday and I wanted to say thank you very much! I can use all of it in my stash! For those of you commenting, Wendi sends out AWESOME giveaways! Thanks again!

I LOVE this idea. I have a ton of gift cards I must give away this year and now I can do so without feeling bad. This will show I did think about them-and only them-when I made these gift card holders.

Yup, this is GOOD! Not only is it stinking cute, it's very useful for this time of the year. And, I have the tags on hand...which makes it very nice. Not sure I can pull it off in the same time frame as you, but I want to give it a try. I've got the perfect recipient...my sister and her hubby. They'll "love" it!

Hello Wendy, these are WONDERFUL! They look fantastic & are such a brilliant idea. Thank you for giving us the step by step tutorial & for reminding me to use tools I'd forgotten I had. :) Hope you have a terrific weekend.

The truck one would of come in handy LAST saturday .. I always get stuck on doing guy stuff. I love bright colors and flowers and it doesn't work well for men :) I will forsure make some of these! Happy Shopping Wendy !! I believe I would be standing on the podium next to you in 2nd place.. LOL

what fantastic gift card holders. am bookmarking this entry for sure. also it reminded me i used to make cards with a similar format but forgot all about them when i discovered ranger and tim and wendy and embossing folders and dies and such things. now i can try it again with the good stuff and wow the recipients.

Just in time.............! I was thinking today that I'll be giving a lot of gift cards this year (older grandkids seem to like them better than sox!) and want to make them more special than a white envelope. These beautiful tag-cards will be just perfect. Thanks!!!

Oh! Thank you for these wonderful gift tag ideas! I've used Tim's truck on birthday cards and it's perfect on Christmas tags, too!.I've just finished Christmas cards and now I need tags and gift card holders...This is so timely!!
